AIM Test Based Statis Options

[The_Twist]

I have seen the nice little image hack for putting your AIM status on a web page but I want one that uses text instead of an image. I figure that there is probably a way to use javascript for this by testing the image code to see if it decided to use the online or offline image but I really don't know javascript very well. My solution needs to be javascript though since I have nowhere to host a cgi or php script. Here is the image code:

CODE

<!-- begin code provided by createblog.com -->
<img src="http://big.oscar.aol.com/username?on_url=http://domain/path/image.gif&off_url=http://domain/path/image.gif" />
<!-- end code provided by createblog.com -->

Like I said I figure there should be a way to use an if statement to test the outcome and pick the appropriate phrase to use with the write function. I know the theory just not the syntax and a few other important things.
